I own a buisness and I am in it to make money off the services I bring.

Right, you have one alt and it is Mothman.

I don't think you or I can verify it for sure, but we can certainly see the effects of it. ("it" being the self-awareness of the he or she that is not yourself) For yourself, you might say, "I think, therefore I am." From that article, "Jaakko Hintikka offered a non-syllogistic interpretation. 'I exist' is immune to Descartes' method of doubt because it is impossible to be mistaken about one's own existence. If we don't exist then we can't be mistaken, so we might as well believe we do." Where the heck is Meta when you need him?

For one to understand that he or she exists.

I quoted scripture not to persuade you, but to show my beliefs' source. As for the awareness thing, I was talking about something happening to a kid at the age of 1, such as, almost drowning every day for a year, and then when the kid is older, he has a fear of water. His "soul" is changed based on a time when his soul wasn't activated?

I almost agree with that too. The difference is that you believe the soul starts at that sentient state, while I believe it starts at inception. (I forget a lot of my childhood, does that mean I wasn't sentient until now?) Certain stimuli to 1 year-olds can change the child's reaction to certain things later in their life. Were they not aware of those things while they still weren't "sentient"? I believe the way I do because this kind of thing looks God-ordained in the bible. For example: Psalm 139:13 For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother's womb. God also formed that disheveled girl in the other thread. He has a plan for her life. I'm just saying what I believe. 1 Cor. 1: 27-29 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong, and the base things of the world and the despised God has chosen, the things that are not, so that He may nullify the things that are, so that no man may boast before God.

I voted episode 3. Good CG scenes and there was actual emotion and plot. It impressed me that Lucas & Co. came back and make this decent, good-looking movie after the atrocious episode 1 and 2, and after the successful, but exclusive trilogy from 20 years ago.

You almost convinced me with that. But then I think about what a "soul" is (since I'm religious and all). And since I don't have an exact definition, I think about how people would react if I went around killing 1 year-olds saying "Don't worry, they aren't sentient life yet." And I realize maybe there is something more to it than sentience.

So true. I ended up here instead.

Good review, Mothy. TOMBS is still choking and crawling along thanks to you. I will also take this moment to clear my reputation with regards to Gray Jedi Knight. It is funny to joke about it and classify him in a group with me, but his methods of presenting Jesus were not biblical.

And his name is Fenghuang.

T3 wonders what drugs Handmaiden has been using.

I'm thinking about how dissappointing NWN was. I gave it few chances, but it never did anything for me

I'm thinking about the time CoF was going to GM a CoC game. Also, I am surprised that the SW RP in the PnP section actually survived for more than 5 pages (and had more than just one person playing). However, unless a mod does something, the game looks like it will die from excessive spam.

T3 is appreciative of the kind gesture Atton tries to offer, but it isn't enough. He leaves the room and hears G0-T0 verbally demolish Atton after an exchange they have. T3 continues the senseless grind next to the workbench, but sees Visas meditating. With his secondary processor he begins constructing a program that might help him "clear his mind". A sub-routine, a ghost of himself, without his normal core thought processes that ponder reality and pain. After finishing the workbench, T3 turns his new program on. Even though he won't interact with people like normal, at least he also won't be thinking of how painful things are.

I had never seen the Leeroy Jenkins recreation. To me, it was gold: Leeroy.

((OOC. I'll delete this if Billy doesn't want me to be T3 or anything)) T3 ignores the commotion of the humans and other droids. He tries to cheerily accomplish task after task of fixing and tuning the ship. It has become an obsession to him, and he realizes that he is turning into one of the countless other droids without soul, who only work and work, showing their lack of substance. But being away from the Exile, the most recent human to actually care about him... it hurt. T3 thinks, maybe that flying fat one was right, maybe this is just hell... But T3 ignores that, and works. Synthesize and replace power coupling. Analyse and tune warp drive. Account for supplies in the storage room. Go go go, never stop never stop. Can't stop. Too much pain.

It sounds like you finally took that geometry class.

Wii are free of giimiicks! Wii both do, buddy.

Wait, was that your question?

Yeah, so when I said the pentagram thing, I was serious.

Ultraviolet. If I was a fan of the comics this probably would've been really cool for me. The plot was alright I guess, the action was well-coreographed, and the camera shots were pretty artsy-fartsy in a good way. Tis best categorized as an "okay, but not anything great" movie.

There was this poll done one time, for people who had cavities or not, then which of those people flossed regularly or not. It was funny because almost all the people who hadn't had cavities didn't floss regularly, whereas most of the people who had cavities did floss regularly. Though it was funny seeming at first (flossers get cavities), the point was made that the people who got the cavities didn't want them again, and so were prompted to floss regularly, whereas the people who never had cavities weren't prompted to floss, since they never had tooth problems. Saying that flossers get cavities a lot more than non-flossers would be a logical fallacy, like "post hoc".

Also, it is harder to moderate tons of short-stories. And I am thinking about how when people say "she" in reference to Fio I become somewhat confused as to Fio's gender, even though I know she is a "he". Then I thought about how only the forum regulars know what I mean when I say Gabrielle. And how it is as if I know a part of useless, pointless history that is now forgotten by most.

True and funny. Funny because it was so true. You also created a sense of suspense, which makes the story even funnier in retrospect, because you get the reader to feel like they also desperately need to take a dookie.
